De BrIzZa the Explorer,

1 have had occasion to meet Stanley's
French rival, Savorgnan de Brazza. and have
been struck by the extraordinary contrast
which tine two men offer in their general
bearing. Not only is De Brazza as tall and
SLIM as Stanley is short and broad, not onlv
IS one as dark as the other is now gray, but
the difference in their department and char.
acters Is SO great that it is really worth point
ing out. No man in the world could welcome
journalist more courteously than De Brazza.
There IS perpetual smile in his ewes, which
seem as reflection of those Italian skies under
which, L believe, he was born His tall.
supple frame bends condescendingly on the
appearance of an interviewer He is ready
at once not only to reply to any amount
OF questions, but even to suggest them, and
his answers are always given in soft. musical
tone, which caresses the ear as a warm, south
erly breeze
Strange to say, however, as soon as Mr..
Reporter has vanished, quite charmed, from
DE Brazza's presence, he finds out that the
French, or rather italian, explorer has with
held from him all information of real inter-
est, it having happened that the willy gentle
man was desperately chewing his cigarette.
and thereby mufiiing his words, each time he
was letting some cat out of the bag for Mr..
Reporters benefit. Stanley, after a short
moment OF apparent GOODNESS and stiffness,
lays his pipe down and opens his mind with
an absolutely American frankness, fearless
ness and sincerity. The whole difference lies
there. De BraZza, unlike the hero of Lafon.

ed green, like reed, on the surface; whereas

STATESMEN's AUTOGRAPHS.
Pocket Money for the Pages of the Capt.
tol-A Division Of Profits

rocket Money for the Pages of the Capt..
tol-A Division of Profits.
For years it has been the privilege of the
pages IN the Capitol to make quite lot Of
pocket money each session collecting auto
graphs. The pages Of the senate, for instance,
VIII collect the signatures of all the senator's
IN an album, turn the book over to some
youngster IN the house, who gets the congress
mems names, then to one Of the pages in the
supreme court for the autographs of the jus
uces, and finally to the riding pages of the
senate, who are constantly going between the
Capitol, the White House, the several depart
ments and bureaus of the government. The
latter gets the names of the president, the
cabinet and other prominent officials
For such a collection the boy who starts the
book has received whatever he could get out
OF his customer, trusting to his own sharp
ness and the latter's generosity. When he
gets his money-and $40 is the usual price
he settles with the other pages who have as
sisted him on such terms as they are willing
to make. The ordinary terms of settlement
have been IS to the contractor, So to the
house page, 81 to the boy who gets the presi-
dent and cabinet, and 81 to the youth in the
supreme court. But the example of the
trade unions has reached the Capitol, and an
equal division of profits is now demanded bv
the boys. A young man said yesterday:
II took an album which had been sent ma
from the west to one of the senate pages the
other day and asked him to get the auto.
graphs OF the statesmen for me, as he had
done before. l had formerly paid him $40
for such Job, but he informed me that the
boys had organized union and had adj
vanced prices to S15. He said that the kids
In the house kicked because the senate bows
were making more money than they, and had
struck, SO 1T became necessary to organize and
have stated card of rates. Don't YOU see.'
he said, that people who want autographs
somehow always come to the senate first. and
us fellows have been having soft thing. We
have got 50 for getting names OF twenty six
senator's, and have given the kids in the house
only 81 for getting 325 names. When thew
happen to catch on to job they get the IS.
OF course, and give us So for the senator's |
autographs, but for every one bool, they get |
we get a dozen, and they kicked about it. So |
we had to agree to pay them as much as we |
got ourselves. They won't touch a book for |
less than s.. There was kid in the house |
who cut under them and got some names not |
long ago for So, but when tho other bows
found it out they got hold of the book and |
tore out the leaves They boycotted him.

Gov. Semple left for Tacoma last
Saturday to be present at the memoir
ial services on Monday. He will, be-
fore he returns, visit the Puyallup val
ley, the Carbonate mines, Seattle
(where he delivers the annual address
of the Territorial University, and prob
ably Port Townsend.
Next week, steamers will be enabled
to land passengers at the Westside
float at extreme low tide, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of occasionally
camping" on the mud-flats to await
the moving of the waters. This will
meet all requirements until further i'm
provements are made.
Olympia is at the present time un-
usually full of strangers from various
distant points east and south and it is
fortunate that they are here in the sea-
son of early bloom and clear skies. OF
course, they are human and stand a
fair chance of being charmed by our
matchless bay and mountain scenery.
Quite stable little stick of timber
is awaiting the foremen's attention at
the Olympia sawmill. 1t is consider
ably over six feet in diameter at the
smaller end and "a feet long. Its
great bulk makes it look to be about
ten or twelve feet long. 1t is to be
split open by a charge of powder before
saving.
The piles have at last been delivered
for the Main street wharf, at a date
when the contract calls for completion
of the whole work, but the incessant
rains in March prevented timber-men
from cutting, and places Mr.. Changers
part of the contract three weeks be-
hind time. He is at work now, how
ever, and will finish the job soon as
possible.
Mrs. P. c. Hale left, to-day, for a
visit TO the Eastern States, ON account
of the illness of her mother. During
her absence the Office work of the
County School Superintendent will be
left with Capt. C. H: Hale. At their
last meeting, the County Commission
ers extended to Mrs. Hale leave of
absence of q few weeks to make her
proposed visit.
As illustration of the statement
made by the STANDARD, some time
ago, that nobody need 60 from home
to purchase anything in the line Of
dry goods, on account of either quality
or price, we note an occurrence of last
week. Mr.. Grant, of Portland, in
passing the New York Cash Store, had
his attention attracted by a fine dis
play Of parasols, and, on inquiry he
found the price was exceedingly low.
The result was that he bought two,
paying SIG for what in Portland, he
declared, would have cost him $50. 1t
is such facts as these that speak loud
er than words.

FoRTY-THREE YEARS AGO.-When
the Hon. Elwood Evans responded tc
the toast "The Governor" at The
Tacoma on Wednesday evening, he
exhibited speech in pamphlet form
by Senator Semple of Illinois, on the
resolution introduced by him relative
to the occupation of Oregon Territory
The speech was delivered January rs,
1874, in the United States Senate,
when Gov. Semple, son Of the Senator,
who was sitting to the right of Mr.
Evans was but two years old. The
Senator said among other things in
his speech of forty-three years ago
=" 1t is not very probable that East
India goods will ever be carried by
land from Oregon to New York or
Boston. 1t will be always cheaper for
those cities to import them by sea

SO many were caught with big stocks

dislike to see error becoming a
matter Of history in the place of truth.
For several years last past, at various
times l have noticed the name of
Job Carr mentioned in the Tacoma
Ledger as the pioneer settler of Ia
coma. Many years (about ten) before
MIR. Carr ever saw Washington Ter
! ritory, Nicholas Delin owned and run
a sawmill on the present town-site of
Tacoma, and during the winter of
1865 Capt. A. Y. Trask loaded his
brig, George Emery, with lumber from
that mill whilst she was swinging to
her anchor where it is now mud-fats
The fall of 1883 at the other or west
end of the city front, Charles Riley
and John Swami, partners, loaded the
brig Cyrus, Capt. Digs, with salmon
in Commencement bay. They had
several buildings, which have since
been destroyed. The following winter
they loaded six or eight vessels with
square timber and piles. The barrels
for the fish were made on the premises
| by CLANCY Bayrd, who afterwards
built fine house, cooper shop, ETC.,
on the spit where the old Tacoma
mill now is, and his donation claim
covered the grounds on which most
J of the
OLD TOWN WAS BUILT.
His buildings, barrels, tools, salt,
seines, etc, were to the value of about
81 800 destroyed by the Indians in
1855, and himself frightened away
from his claim. Charles Hadley, who
died ia Steilacoom during the Indian
war in 1856 joined Bayrd on the east
taking in Old Woman's gulch; a
man by the name of Barnhart, west
of the Delin claim, which he sold to
Peter Judson, and Judson sold to the
Tacoma Land Company, Delin sold
to Milas Galliher and he to the land
company, long before Mr.. Carr ever
saw this country. All the lands Dor
dering on Commencement bay on the
south were occupied by settlers except
a tract between the Chancey Bayrd
claim and the Riley and Swami claims.
Most of these old pioneers are dead
and if their spirits take cognizance OF
matters pertaining to this mundane
sphere they must grin greatly at some
of the illusions of the Tacoma Ledge,
in reference to early settlers.
